Owners of Audiomedia III cards
that do not own Pro Tools software can purchase the upgrade to
Pro Tools LE for ToolBox systems from the DigiStore
or your local Digidesign
Dealer. Previous installation of Pro Tools is not required
to install paid upgrades.

A: The previously released Pro Tools LE 6.1.2 for Mac OS X and
Pro Tools LE 6.1.1 for Windows XP will be the last Pro Tools LE
release versions to have qualification and support for Audiomedia
III and ToolBox systems, which have been discontinued for some time.
While Pro Tools LE 6.2.3 for Mac OS X will not be fully tested or
officially qualified with Audiomedia III hardware in Power Mac G4
models with Mac OS X 10.3.2, limited testing has shown that this
configuration can be used. However, we cannot guarantee performance.

Future Pro Tools LE releases in 2004 and beyond will not work with
Audiomedia III cards. Audiomedia III and ToolBox owners wishing
to use newer versions of Pro Tools software can take advantage of
Digidesign's Hardware Exchange Program
to Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, or Pro Tools|HD systems.

Q: Can I use Pro Tools LE 6.4 LE software with
an Audiomedia III card?

A: No. The Pro Tools LE 6.4 release
and beyond will not work with Audiomedia III and ToolBox systems,
which have been discontinued for some time. The previously released
Pro Tools LE 6.1.2 for Mac OS X 10.2 (and the untested Pro Tools
LE 6.2.3 for Mac OS X 10.3) were the last versions that work with
Audiomedia III cards. Audiomedia III owners wishing to use newer
versions of Pro Tools software can take advantage of Digidesign's
Hardware Exchange Program to Digi 002,
Digi 002 Rack, or Pro Tools|HD systems.

512 MB RAM or higher suggested for sessions with high edit density,
extensive use of plug-ins, or simultaneous use with MIDI sequencers

DigiTranslator 2.0 will also require additional RAM

OS X does not require minimum or preferred RAM settings for
Pro Tools as RAM is dynamically allocated

Note: In Pro Tools 6.0.x, the maximum allowable RAM was 1.5 GB.
MDD G4 models with 2.0 GB would cause a "NeoAccess Error"
and Pro Tools would not boot unless some RAM was removed. This issue
is solved in Pro Tools 6.1 and higher. Answerbase
